Athlons aren't as overclockable using the fsb as PIII's. Athlons as you found out peter out at 110Mhz or 115Mhz at best. So yes its time for a gold finger 351freak. That or get the slot one Athlon modded.

"anyone tried a heat pipe setup for cooling???" Nope. I use a good cpu cooler like an Alpha and have plenty of case fans. I also use the cardcooler.

the k7v's have a problem going over 800 mhz -- do the mod that will turn it into a k7v-t or you're probably gonna be stuck at the speed you got ...

hit yourself in the head and say "i shoulda gone socket-a"
